Re: Nord Stage 3 - hammond B3 Sound
Did you use any EQ on the piano or organ?

Re: Nord Stage 3 - hammond B3 Sound
Well, I don't feel anything wrong in the organ sound, ok, maybe a bit thin compared to my C2D but it has always been the case with this difference between the C2D and my Stage 2....Ok, the Stage 3 is supposed to close the gap....And as usual, the one who is behind the pole/poster/garbage.... Guess who. Keyboard player!!!!

Re: Nord Stage 3 - hammond B3 Sound
Hey Gospelkeys, super nice playing you just seem a bit to loud with piano when comping a singer....maybe get a volume pedal ? Solo part is cool to be loud. Hammond could be brighter and a notch more distorted , Id turn some eq to make it more present.Gospelkeys wrote:Thought I would share this. Good to hear an instrument in context.
2 Short clips from my debut gig with the NS3. I was promised more video but my friends were more interested in socializing than taking video - but here is what I got.
Short and sweet. First clip is some "Silver grand" piano work in Feelin Alright - next is a brief except from my organ solo in Whippin Post.
Great job.

Re: Nord Stage 3 - hammond B3 Sound
Anyone notice that changing the key click level from low to high only brightens the organ EQ, but doesn’t actually change the key click level?

Re: Nord Stage 3 - hammond B3 Sound
...since 2 months i say this, for the key click and brightness. I feel less alone, and wait of nord to fix this.

I haven't noticed that, but will check more closely tomorrow.Obwanz wrote:Anyone notice that changing the key click level from low to high only brightens the organ EQ, but doesn’t actually change the key click level?
I will say I am really close to loving the Organ section. It's just going to take some tweaking.

Re: Nord Stage 3 - hammond B3 Sound
Yes, the key click has been discussed also a month ago. I can reproduce it.
It was a great find by @lordy and was reproduced here, so I don't know about the feeling alone part

Re: Nord Stage 3 - hammond B3 Sound
Okay, so I'm reprogramming all of my patches from the NS 2 on the NS3 now, so I have them side by side on the same interface, trying to get as close as possible.
The new Leslie model vs. the old is night-and-day, with the 122 close being the nicer version of the new one.
But the old one had a warmth and fullness to it that I have been so far unable to reproduce with the equaliser on the NS3. I'm sorry to say that I like the old Hammond a lot better for it — even disregarding the fact that the Nord Stage 3 percussion is broken, and that the C3 chorus is in fact a C2… I think it's a different rotor/horn balance.
They've also changed the key click sound from a sort of chorused smacking (which was more realistig) to a single tic.
